The Washington Post‘s Editorial Board writes, “While the world fixated on the murder of 12 people by Islamic terrorists in Paris last week, another slow and grisly massacre was taking place in Nigeria, at the hands of the Islamist militants of Boko Haram.” More than 5,000 people have been killed in the past year. With Nigeria’s elections coming up next month, the board writes that the “heinous butchery should be a wake-up call … The horrific violence is only intensifying.”
